I’m starting to regret my pick of Penn State over Nebraska. On the one hand, they’ve had an incredible distraction, for lack of a better word, this week. On the other, having seen the video of how a number of PSU fans/students acted toward Paterno last night, the players could just as easily turn this into a “Win one for the Gipper!” as if the 2 scenarios are remotely close.

Just out of curiosity and without starting another thread to find out about it, do you regard any of these games as “must see” events?

I have a measure of curiosity about these, as well as the Auburn-Georgia game:

Thursday November 10, 2011

Virginia Tech (8-1, Road: 4-0) 8:00 pm EST  
Georgia Tech (7-2, Home: 5-0)

Saturday November 12, 2011

Oklahoma St. (9-0, Road: 4-0) TBA  
Texas Tech (5-4, Home: 2-3)

Tennessee (4-5, Road: 0-2) TBA  
Arkansas (8-1, Home: 4-0)

TCU (7-2, Road: 3-1) 3:30 pm EST  
Boise St. (8-0, Home: 3-0)

Oregon (8-1, Road: 3-0) 8:00 pm EST  
Stanford (9-0, Home: 4-0)

The “College Football Belt” is at stake in the GA-Tech/VA-Tech game! 🙂

GT/VPI - Somewhat. I can’t stand VPI, but with Miami’s annual blown chance at an ACC-CG appearance already passed, my interest is lessened.

OSU/TT - Minimal. For some reason, I struggle to get into most Big XII games. Maybe all the scoring by all the teams just turns it into Arena Football for me. Not sure.

UT/Arkansas - Minimal. I don’t like watching UT.

TCU/Boise - High, but I’ll be watching Miami @ FSU, so I’ll miss this. I want TCU to win because I want Boise’s home field winning streak stopped.

Oregon/Stanford - Very High. Once the season started to play out a bit, this became the biggest game of interest for me for the year, a bit ahead of LSU/Bama. I love the Pac12, and this was a good game for 30+ minutes last year.

I’ll watch GT/VT game tomorrow night. Obviously. Apparently no one that voted in the poll above thinks that VT is going to win this game.

And I will probably watch the Oregon/Stanford game.

The other games listed are not must see. IMO.

Here’s a shout-out to **Jilaad** for being the only one to pick Virginia Tech which has now gained possession of [The College Football Belt](http://collegefootballbelt.com/index.htm) and is in position to have to defend it against

Thu, Nov 17 North Carolina 8:00 pm  
Sat, Nov 26 at Virginia TBA

And perhaps others later on. Their first/only grasp of this mythical honor!
